Hi Guys.. just a few questions..

1. I might be Installing a GT wing on a 88LX Hatch - Will it be it a direct bolt on after removing the stock spoiler ??

2. I installed some Mac shorty headers, Is there some kind of different plug wires or adapter only 1 out of 8 is rubbing on the heading and burning the plug wires and now it is mis-firing

Thanks guys

The LX hatch has 6 or more holes than the GT hatch, and all are in the wrong places. You'd have to weld them all up to do it right. I just swapped a GT hatch and spoiler onto my car to replace the rusted LX hatch. Still need to paint it, but at least it is close in color (both are reds!)

Yeah it is much easier to switch out the whole hatch if you can find one the same color, then just unload your old one. If you have good experience with welding the holes, or want to get good you can just weld them all.
